In the Connector
v Holding that fresh new baby, seeing tears in their parents eyes,
and washing them anew with a shower of Gods grace, love,
welcome and water
v The sacristy smells of wax, oil and aging paraments
v The parents watching their adult children come down the aisle
for marriage, and looking at me through their tears for some
sense of reassurance.
Letters to MUMC
.
In early April, Anne Gifford, Judy Parsons, and Cleo Kottwitz joined
the Go and See Tour of Rainbow Network in Nicaragua. They
learned of a special need for childrens shoes. Upon returning home
they announced the need, and Discovery Days volunteered to collect
childrens shoes. In just three weeks they filled a large barrel of
shoes! A large sea going container of resources will soon be sent to
Nicaragua for use in the 111 villages where Rainbow Network works
with community leaders in education, nutrition, healthcare, housing,
and economic development. A new, empty barrel has been delivered
to Whittler Hall. Can we fill it?? Contributions of new or good
quality clean, sturdy used childrens shoes will be appreciated.In
addition, the school desks constructed by a Columbia woodworker
are very popular; Rainbow Networkcan use 200 more. Plans are
available for anyone who would make desks. Cash contributions for
both shoes and desks are a special blessing. Make checks to MUMC
and designate: Container Project shoes or desks.
